Thread: Guided setup problem

    Guided setup problem

    Hi
    Darren Kindly set up a new channel lineup for my area, so i went to tivoweb /Pal NTSC/ guided setup mode and set that up and rebooted!
    Now the first time it worked fine but i couldnt find the new lineup so i thought i'd leave it a couple of days in case it wasn't ready ( I dont understand how its done anyway!)
    Now when i try to reboot into guided setup though it doesn't work! eg it just boots normally!!
    yes i am setting the switch in Tivo web.

    So my question is "What do I do now"
    Oh and now that we have changed the clocks down here in Tassie My Tivo doesnt know the new time so how do i change that.
    I guess that i will need to get into Guided set up -- lol

    Thanks

    Mike

    Hi Mike

    Actually not me, but Warren Toomey "set it up" in the emulator. I just submitted a new lineup for your general area thus:


    provider: 07310 Burnie-Devonport Analog FTA
    version: 1
    lineuptype: Antenna
    channel: 0 NoNag
    #
    # Round Hill Burnie
    channel: 10 SC-Tas
    channel: 47 WIN-Tas
    channel: 55 SBS-Tas
    channel: 58 ABC-Tas
    channel: 61 SC-Tas
    #
    # Kelcey Tier Translator East Devonport
    channel: 51 SC-Tas
    channel: 54 SBS-Tas
    channel: 57 ABC-Tas
    channel: 60 WIN-Tas


    Now the first time it worked fine but i couldnt find the new lineup so i thought i'd leave it a couple of days in case it wasn't ready ( I dont understand how its done anyway!)
    So when you went to pick your lineup, previously you would have only seen a "Hobart" analogue lineup..... do you not now get listed a "Burnie/Devonport" option as well?? I submitted the above to Warren via email and it appeared on the Oztivo server on the 23rd of Sep, so unless Warren didn't do something right it should be in the list for you to pick when you redo GS. You can see for yourself that it is sitting there:

    http://minnie.tuhs.org/TiVo/files/headend_config/TAS/

    Now when i try to reboot into guided setup though it doesn't work! eg it just boots normally!! yes i am setting the switch in Tivo web.
    So you have at least tried and pick the menu option to redo guided setup anyway?? Did it work regardless??

    Oh and now that we have changed the clocks down here in Tassie My Tivo doesnt know the new time so how do i change that.
    Unless the emulator has not been configured right (again, another job for Warren) then this should happen automatically.

    Mike,

    Just for fun(?) I imaged up a hard disk and set it up for Tasmania and yes I can confirm that I did get a "Burnie-Devonport Analog FTA, TA" lineup selection which I was able to pick no problems and continued with GS.

    I can also confirm that the clock is indeed set correctly for Tasmania's non-conformity to Daylight Savings time Time now is 1:53pm and the TiVo is showing 2:53pm.

    So all is working fine here

    No Luck

    Darren,
    When i looked yesterday in my Tivo setup it said that it was setting the clock - i checked back about 3 hours later and it was still doing that!
    This morning the clock is OK.

    I tried to do the guided setup and it didn't work so i again reset the switch in Tivoweb and restarted, 1st time it didn't work 2nd time it did?

    so I got into the guided setup again and went thru to the cable lineups and the only one available is "Hobart analog FTA" and "None of the above"
    am i doing something stupid? it wouldn't be the first time!

    hmmm.... ok try this: go into your preference menu and pick "clear and delete everything" (or something like that) and then try redoing a guided setup.

    It is possible that the guided setup is not updating via the communication to the server but rather seeing and existing one on the hard disk and picking this and therefore not seeing the new area.

    If you want to save your recordings, you might want to try downloading the attached delallsources.zip unzip it, ftp it into /var/hack/bin and Make it executable by issuing chmod a+x delallsources.tcl

    Then execute it by typing ./delallsources.tcl

    This will remove any source previously setup, in case GS wasn't able to.

    Then run GS again.

    Thanks Pete

    I will try that tomorrow.

    Just to add some more mystery.

    after a scheduled phone call this afternoon my Tivo clock was set back about 5 hours !

    I did a forced phone call - this went ok but my system locked up.
    I pulled the plug and rebooted and now it seems ok. I will try running that prog as soon as i get time.

    Thank again all

    Mike

    Mike,

    Just on a (sort of) related issue: Did you ever diagnose that power problem? Was it soldering on the PSU like we spoke about or something else.... or did it just vanish?
